Working Alongside the Master
Wednesday, March 14, 2012
John 12:26 says, "Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me."
We may not be able to be "where Jesus is" physically, but God is Spirit, and through intercession, we can work alongside our Lord and Master wherever He is at work.
This could start with something as simple as praying for the needs of your loved ones. As God strengthens you and causes you to grow, you can pray for others in your church, your community, and for the work of the Kingdom around the world. Wherever Jesus is at work, you can be there too, working by His side.
There is no use saying you choose to lie down when it has become impossible to stand up. That will not be the time for choosing: it will be the time when we discover which side we really have chosen, whether we realised it before or not. Now, today, this moment, is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It will not last for ever. We must take it or leave it.
— C.S. Lewis
